Our verdict on Note Vanillée: Favourite

Note Vanillée is a divisive beast, with some hailing its boozy vanilla as a sophisticated dream, while others are left reeling from what they perceive as an "old lady" floral mess or even (gasp!) pickle juice. Don't blind buy this one, unless you fancy a gamble.

About

Opens with a bright citrus burst, quickly giving way to a heart of delicate jasmine. The drydown unveils a warm, powdery vanilla, enriched by notes of boozy rum and amber, all grounded by creamy sandalwood. It evolves into a complex and intriguing scent, though its projection is generally subtle.
